Atlanta High

Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Atlanta High is a public high school located in Atlanta, Missouri, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 97 students. The school is part of the Atlanta C-3 school district, which is ranked 178 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's consistent 100% four-year graduation rate, which is significantly higher than the state average, Atlanta High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri high schools, with its ranking ranging from 229 to 476 out of 460 to 523 schools over the past decade. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also been low, ranging from 0 to 3 stars out of 5, indicating below-average performance compared to other Missouri high schools. While the school's low-socioeconomic status (SES) students have performed relatively well, ranking between 59 and 139 out of 368 to 382 Missouri high schools, the school's white students have struggled, ranking between 195 and 254 out of 310 to 440 Missouri high schools.

Additionally, Atlanta High has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.7% to 27.8% in recent years, which is notably higher than the state average. In core subject areas like English Language Arts, Algebra I, and Biology I, the school's proficiency rates have consistently lagged behind the state and district averages, often by a significant margin. Despite an increase in per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school continues to face challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse student population.
